I have put together a package (originally built it for Solaris 9) which
installs Clam and SpamAssassin 3 including all their dependencies. It's
in the &quot;other stuff&quot; section at the bottom of the downloads
page. Download that, unpack it and run &quot;./INSTALL-tar.sh&quot; and
it should sit there and quietly get on with it all for you.<br><br>

the book and I have searched for the install for MS 4.33.3 and
SpamAssassin 3 on Solaris 9.&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>MailScanner 4.33.3 installed
with no problem</b>.&nbsp; Followed documentation for installing
SpamAssassin 2.60 posted on webpage and tried to install SpamAssassin 3
using the same directions,&nbsp; comes up with file errors for the
</font>perl Makefile.PL ,Make ,Make test section of install.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Perl Makefile.PL runs but when you enter make or make test to continue
the install the message no directory or file exists.&nbsp; They don^Òt
seem to be created? <br>

</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times"># perl -MCPAN -e shell <br>
Whenever it asks for manual configuration, say no. <br>
cpan</font>&gt; o conf prerequisites_policy ask <br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">Stops it running away and installing
loads of extras.</font> <br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">cpan</font>&gt; install Time::HiRes
<br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">cpan</font>&gt; install Net::DNS
<br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">cpan</font>&gt; quit <br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times"># tar xzf
Mail-SpamAssassin-2.60.tar.gz <br>
# cd Mail-SpamAssassin-2.60 <br>
<b># perl Makefile.PL <br>
# make <br>
You may now get some errors about pod2text. If you do, then do this
command: <br>
# ln -s /usr/bin/pod2man /usr/bin/pod2text <br>
# make <br>
# make test <br>
</b>This will fail horribly due to the lack of the file Pod/Usage.pm so
now do this to install it: <br>
# perl -MCPAN -e shell <br>
cpan</font>&gt; o conf prerequisites_policy ask <br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">cpan</font>&gt; install Pod::Usage
<br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">cpan</font>&gt; quit <br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times"># make test <br>
&nbsp;<br>
Is the install for SpamAssassin 3&nbsp; and&nbsp; MailScanner the same on
Solaris 9 as it has been for earlier versions?&nbsp;&nbsp;
